You'll need to be friendly with the NCR to have any chance of undertaking this side quest. If you're not, then you'll really have no prayer of doing so. As you no doubt know, the NCR is strewn all over the place in the Mojave Wasteland, with camps in every possible nook and cranny. After all, they effectively control the situation there. The particular camp you'll need to go to in order to get things going on this side quest is Camp Forlorn Hope, an NCR-controlled destination on the eastern edge of the Mojave Wasteland. The Abandoned Brotherhood of Steel Bunker is to the southeast of it, and the Cazador Nest is to the northwest. When you arrive, head to the main tent on the premises and seek out a woman named Tech Sergeant Reyes. She'll give you a task to complete for her, which involves running new code sequences to six NCR camps strewn around the Wasteland. Easy enough!

Of course, these locations will be even easier to get to if you have already been to them, since you can simply quick-travel from one to the next. If not, the locations will still be shown on your map (if this quest is marked as active on your Pip-Boy), though you'll need to go overland, or quick-travel to a place nearby to arrive. Let's take care of these in alphabetical order. Ranger Station Alpha is to the northwest of Camp Forlorn Hope with the Boulder Beach Campground to the east. There, seek out Comm Officer Castillo, and hand over the new codes. Then, travel to Ranger Station Bravo at the far northeastern edge of the Mojave Wasteland, just to the east of Bitter Springs. You'll find Comm Officer Tilden there, also in want of some new codes.

Next up is Ranger Station Charlie, a location southwest of Camp Forlorn Hope, wedged in between the Highway 95 Viper's Encampment to the east, and Harper's Shack to the west. Unfortunately, this place has been completely devastated by an unknown force. Carefully explore the camp, especially the interior of its lone building. Carefully, because there are explosives and booby traps everywhere. Once you've seen enough to know that no NCR soldier could have survived such an ordeal, you've seen enough, so you can carry on to Ranger Station Delta. Delta is actually located just to the south of Camp Forlorn Hope, so you should be able to get there pretty easily. Once there, find and speak with Comm Officer Scheffer. Hand over the code documents, and you'll be good to continue to the next location.
